Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mud flap attachment for releasably connecting the fastening area of a mud flap formed by the edge area of the adaptation approach and coming to rest on the fender rebate of the motor vehicle, which has a rag main body, in the extension of which the adaptation approach lies, with at least one clamp for clamping the mud flap on Fender rebate, which has a clamping part which is connected to the other clamp part by means of two screws arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the fastening region, at least the clamp part having on its side forming the clamping opening in the direction of the clamp part beveled corner region.
  • a clamp is used for the clamping attachment of the mud flap which can be used universally and which has a main flap body and an adaptation shoulder lying essentially in the same plane as this used, which consists of an elongated clamp part and a correspondingly shaped elongated clamp part, which are connected to one another by two spaced screws and whose continuous opening-forming sides, which run parallel to the connecting line of the two screws, are bent at their outer corner regions in order to bring about a firm engagement of the clamping part with the inside of the fender rebate and of the clamp part with the forward-facing surface of the fastening area of the mud flap in the clamped state.
  • a strainer attachment of the type mentioned is designed according to the invention in such a way that the side of the clamping part forming the clamping opening has a central recess open to the side facing away from the screws, the sides of which are formed by two clamping projections, that both corner regions of the free ends of the clamping projections are kinked in the direction of the clamp part and that the distance from the associated screw to the free end of the clamping projection which is higher in the assembled state is smaller than the corresponding distance from the other clamping projection.
  • the use of a single clamp is thus made possible by at least its clamp part having four corner regions angled in the direction of the clamp part, which in the assembled state engage in clawing engagement with the inside of the fender rebate or with insulation or insulation material provided on this inside come, so that, compared to the previously known clamp with two screws, a significantly higher clamping effect is achieved, through which a secure connection of mud flaps and fender rebate is ensured.
  • the screws of the clamp are preferably each arranged on the longitudinal central axis of the associated clamping projection, so that there is a symmetrical position with respect to the corner regions of the clamping part which come into engagement with the rear of the fender rebate.
  • the outer edge of the free end, at least of the clamping projection lying lower in the assembled state can enclose an acute angle with the connecting line of the two screws, the apex of which in the assembled state is higher than the higher of the two Screws.
  • the outer edges of the free ends of both clamping projections preferably lie on a common straight line.
  • threaded bores can be provided in the clamping part for receiving the screws, so that the screws are arranged with their heads on the outside of the clamp part and are easily accessible from this for the assembler Liche side can be tightened to bring the clip in its closed state.
  • At least one bend forming a support is provided for engagement with the clamping part.
  • the clamp part is formed by a reinforcing plate which, in the assembled state, extends on the surface of the fastening region facing away from the fender rebate and has lugs for the engagement of the screws.
  • This known reinforcement plate (DE-PS 23 42 365) is also used as a clamp part. Since the reinforcement plate is normally riveted to the mud flap, the clamp is held in place after the fender rebate has been positioned accordingly and the mud flap has been aligned and the mud flap has been aligned by holding the mud flap in place, and it is then only necessary to tighten the screws of the clamp without that there is a risk that the clamp will shift during this assembly process with respect to the mud flap and / or with respect to the fender rebate.
  • clamp part in accordance with the clamp part and thus to provide it with two clamp projections corresponding to the clamp projections, which have bent corner areas in order to achieve a secure engagement with the material of the mud flap, whereby the clamp projections can usually have the same length.
  • passenger cars in the area of the wheel arches usually have a so-called fender rebate 2, which is formed by angling the body 1 in the area of the wheel arches and which in many cases serves to fasten dirt traps, as is described in DE-PS 23 42 365 and also described in DE-PS 29 05 753.
  • These dirt traps as indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 2, have a dirt trap flap 3 with an essentially flat main body 4 and an adjoining extension 5 which adjoins this upwards and which has an inner edge area for contact with the droppings wing rebate 2 coming fastening area, wherein the course of the inner edge of the adaptation approach 5 should match as closely as possible with the course of the free edge of the fender rebate 2.
  • a bendable reinforcing plate 6 is provided on the surface of the mud flap 3 facing the wheel in the assembled state, i.e. the surface facing away from the fender rebate 2, in the area of the inner edge of the adaptation projection 5, which is provided by rivets 7 in the area of the Upper edge of the main flap body 4 is attached to the main flap body 4.
  • the form and task of such a reinforcement plate are described in DE-PS 23 42 365.
  • two lugs 21, 22 are formed at a distance from each other on the edge located on the inner edge of the adaptation projection 5, which lie essentially in the plane of the reinforcing plate 6 and form bends 23 and 24 at their free ends.
  • the lugs 21 and 22 there are through holes through which screws 11, 12 are inserted, which are used for connection to the clamping part 10.
  • the clamping part 10 has two threaded bores, for example spaced from 50 to 58 mm, through which the screws 11 and 12 extend. It has two essentially parallel clamping projections 13, 14, which have between them a width of 30 mm to 35 mm, for example Form central recess, which is open on the side facing away from the screws 11 and 12. On the side of the clamping part 10 closer to the screws 11 and 12 there are bends 19 and 20 which correspond to the bends 23 and 24 of the clip projections 21 and 22 and which are arranged adjacent to form a support.
  • the free corner areas of the clamping projections 13 and 14 are kinked in the direction of the reinforcement plate 6 and the kinks 17 and 18 thus formed come into engagement in the assembled state with the rear side of the fender rebate 12 or with coating material applied to this rear side (FIG. 2) .
  • the length of the clamping projection 13 of the screw 11, which is arranged centrally with respect to this clamping projection 13, is shorter than the corresponding length of the clamping projection 14.
  • the lower corner 17 or 18 of the clamping projection 13 or 14 in FIG. 3 has a greater distance from the associated screw 11 or 12 than the upper corner 17 or 18 in FIG. 3.
  • This unequal design of the two clamping projections 13 and 14 means that the dirt trap can also be attached to a relatively steeply extending fender rebate, as is indicated schematically by the broken line 30 in FIG Corners 18 of the clamping projection 14 with the rear side of the fender rebate 2 possible. If the clamping projection 14 had the same length as the clamping projection 13, then in the case shown, at least least with the lower bend 18 of the clamping projection 14 no longer reach engagement with the fender rebate 2, and in many cases the lower clamping projection 14 could not come into contact with the fender rebate at all. However, this leads to an insufficient fastening of the dirt trap.
  • the clamp part 110 instead of the clamp projections formed on a reinforcing plate, the clamp part 110 cooperates with a clamp part 106 which has clamp projections 121 and 122 corresponding to the clamp projections 21 and 22, this being part of the clamp part 106 are and form a central cutout between them, which is open on the same side as the central recess between the clamping projections 113 and 114.
  • These clamping projections 121 and 122 are bent at their free corners in the direction of the clamping part 110 and thus form engagement areas 137 and 138 for the Engagement with the front surface of the mud flap to be attached to the fender rebate.
